Edgard man wins $1 million lottery

An Edgard man won $1 million in the Louisiana Lottery's $1 Million Raffle game, Lottery officials said Friday.

Keith Miller claimed the prize earlier this week, said lottery spokeswoman Megan Tanner. Miller was not willing to make a public statement through the Lottery corporation, Tanner said.

He bought the $10 ticket at the Club Grocery and General Merchandise store in Edgard, which receives $10,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Mike Doran, operational manager for the store, said he found out about a week ago that there was a winner,

Meanwhile, the store's employees are cooking food in front of the store for state Lottery officials who were traveling there to present the business with a check, as well as to celebrate its good fortune with residents.
